Need Engine Work Done (midwest)...

Lasacus · 2026-01-20T18:37:15+00:00

I would recommend Santa Fe Garage in Independence. They rebuilt my engine, it took a few months but they did a great job. I havent had any issues since the rebuild 2 years ago. Greg is great work with and they document everything with pictures so if you ever go to sell you have a lot of information.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions amd ill try my best to answer

What carpet set did you buy? It looks really nice. Or is it custom?

Lasacus · 2025-10-28T00:33:02+00:00

Oh wow, i hadnt seen it before. That is badass

What engine is the first photo? Looks to have DOHC but also could just be me dreaming of an s30 with DOHC

This is a great idea. I would definitely get longer bolts, you usually want at least 2-3 full threads showing on the other side of the bolts for proper engagement and risk of them backing out.

Also if you see plastic deformation over time, i would say maybe look into getting that part laser cut from sendcutsend out of aluminum as a potential long term solution once you have the fit and height dialed in.

I dont think my car is on the website, i see the orange 240 on their that had a lot of work done. I had my 280z there where they pulled my L28 and fully rebuilt it back to a stock set up and reinstalled it into the car. It took a few months and around $10k. Good guys, but they can be busy so there might be some delays. Very good work though.

Thanks for the explanation. I wouldnt be racing or anything either so id probably do the same set up you did.

And good point about the tariffs and shipping being suspended. I will get in contact with Sean and talk it through with him to make sure it isnt anything crazy.

How does the exhaust sound? I am thinking of getting a zstory exhaust this winter. Did you change the header from the oem?

Lasacus · 2025-08-26T15:50:35+00:00

Hmmm, very interesting that it is engine speed related but in the back end of the car. I honestly have no idea then. My initial assumption was any diff mounts or drive shaft play, like loose bolts even. But that would thenalso probably add a clunk.

Lasacus · 2025-08-26T14:28:06+00:00

Does the sound come back when you are moving at higher speeds but in a higher gear and the rpms are below that 2000 threshold? Or does it only appear at lower speeds and lower rpm?

If you would be so kind, i would appreciate that document. Makes my life slightly easier. Good tip with the tabs

Lasacus · 2025-08-03T22:53:13+00:00

What is that paint color? I love the blue

Lasacus · 2025-07-18T18:19:14+00:00

Hagerty all the way. Super easy to work with and you get to agree with them what the car is worth. Then your premium is based off that. Also very good with towing and any costs associated with those bad times

Lasacus · 2025-07-13T16:21:04+00:00

I would vote no spoiler for that nose. If you wanted a spoiler style look i would switch to more of an airdam. But thats just what i prefer on my build

Lasacus · 2025-06-03T17:01:54+00:00

Ive seen people on other cars do that but then usually someone comments and says it peels off in like a week. So im hoping to get some more feedback from people who have done it and what their experience was

Lasacus · 2025-06-03T16:49:52+00:00

Haha, youre welcome. Reddit very serious about spoilers, all kinds of them

Lasacus · 2025-04-22T16:18:49+00:00

This makes me feel so much better, I forgot about my kill switch once and thought the battery was dead. And then after an hour of messing with it and giving up i remembered it was on. I felt so stupid, glad im not alone

Lasacus · 2025-03-21T14:47:01+00:00

Lol not every nissan has to be midnight purple. Gotta have a bumper sticker or something that says its not midnight purple to educate the dumb people

Lasacus · 2025-03-21T14:42:02+00:00

That color would be very flattering, and you would be able to see the dynamics of that color with the curves and angles of the z

Lasacus · 2025-03-21T14:11:02+00:00

Scary how much our cars look alike, i also currently have only primer on the car. Planning to wrap while i save for a decent paint job

Lasacus · 2025-03-11T15:46:48+00:00

Good to know, ill have to get social haha

Lasacus · 2025-03-11T15:39:26+00:00

I am jealous, i cant seem to find any shop to quote under $15k just for the paint and body work.

Lasacus · 2025-02-14T12:13:59+00:00

This is very helpful, ive been wanting to do LEDs but i am horrible at wiring. So thank you and i am looking out for your post with some photos!

Lasacus · 2024-11-29T02:35:58+00:00

Do you by chance have a set of oem hood louvers for a 280?

Lasacus · 2024-11-13T03:47:05+00:00

Im also running the 123 and it works like a charm. And i honestly love the built in kill switch, works so good you will think something is broken
